Chapter 4 Stars On The Sky (4)

“Why do you have my number?” Li Ting even didn’t know the number.

“You’ve told me, remember?” Gao Yusheng on the other side of the phone seemed to smile.

Zhai Chen just remembered the taxi incident and sat up to grab his head. This man has a good memory. Zhai Chen said the phone number only once and he memorized it.

The Mr. President said that he had a business to discuss with Zhai Chen, and invited him to have dinner. Zhai Chen didn’t think that as poor amateur bodyguard, he had any ability to do business with Mr.Gao. He thought that Mr. Gao would like to hire him as a bodyguard.

Anyway, Li Ting’s task would be finished soon. Zhai Chen would have nothing to do again. It was better to book the next order in advance.

Zhai Chen agreed without hesitation. Gao Yusheng asked him what he wanted to eat. Zhai Chen who had not eaten breakfast yet, rubbed his empty stomach and decided to eat hot pot.

“Mengmeng, go out with me,” Zhai Chen dressed neatly and threw the black backpack on his shoulder. Zhai Chen opened the next door to Aunt Zhu’s house and asked his nephew who was watching TV with another boy to come out.

As a criminal police officer, Fang Chuyang usually has no holidays. He had to work overtime on weekends to investigate cases. Zhai Chen couldn’t leave the child at home alone, so he took Mengmeng with him to meet Mr. Gao.

“Where are you going, Chen?” there was another middle-aged woman in aunt Zhu’s house. They were chatting while hooking up their wool hats. They warmly welcomed Zhai Chen to come in.

“Go out and meet a friend,” Zhai Chen smiled and said to Aunt Zhu, turning to wave to his nephew.

“Uncle… I haven’t finished this cartoon,” Mengmeng still couldn’t help staring at the screen on the Internet TV. There were many foreign cartoons. He wanted to stay here. The grey-blue Tomcat was running after Jerry Mouse, only to find that it was empty until Tom caught at the end of the clothes drying pole, and fell down with a funny symphony. The two children were laughing. Zhai Mengmeng had forgotten his uncle was still standing at the door.

“Let them play here. Mengmeng can have lunch here at noon. It’s hard to have a day off. Go to enjoy your weekend, ” Aunt Zhu waved her hand and said that she would take care of the children and let Zhai Chen go.

This courtyard was full of people from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. They had been familiar with each other for more than ten years. Zhai Chen often dined at Aunt Zhu’s home when he was a student.

Zhai Chen hesitated.

“It’s OK. I know Mengmeng’s physical condition. I won’t allow them to go out. I’ll call you as soon as something’s wrong,” Aunt Zhu promised, and the woman next to her was staring at Zhai Chen with a curious expression.

“Go, uncle. I’ll be fine,” Zhai Mengmeng’s eyes are still staring at the screen, and he perfunctorily swung his short hands.

“Thanks a lot,” Zhai Chen bared his teeth to the little ungrateful boy. Having appreciated Aunt Zhu, Zhai Chen went downstairs carrying the folding electric motor bike.

“Go ahead, what’s going on with Zhai Chen?” the middle-aged woman was silent for a long time, and finally couldn’t help asking. Just before Zhai Chen came, Aunt Zhu had a little gossip about the situation of the opposite door, mainly to ask her old friends to introduce Fang Chuyang a girl. Zhai Chen came in before they finished talking. The middle-aged woman saw the protagonist in the story while she was listening. She didn’t show that “I just heard of you”. She had a good disguise.

“Mengmeng is the child of Zhai Chen’s sister, and his mother died just after he was born,” Aunt Zhu lowered her voice, avoided Zhai Mengmeng in the next room would hear, “Fang Chuyang was adopted by Zhai Chen’s father. He is the same age as Zhai Chen, and was Zhai Chen’s father, Zhai Jianguo’s friend’s son. Zhai Jianguo was a very kind person. He was drowned to save a young man who jumped into the river before the new year’s Eve… “

“Ah,” the old sister sighed, “how do the two men know how to take care of a kid?”

“That’s true. I’m worried that it is hard for the two brothers to look after such a little boy who’s not well in health.

Zhai Chen, the poor guy in the sad story, was riding a small electric motor bike to the appointment of the arrogant president. Gao Yusheng ordered a very remote hot pot restaurant in a small alley full of artistic atmosphere. The limousine with the winged logo obviously couldn’t get into the lane, so he had to park in the open parking lot outside the lane.

Zhai Chen folded up the electric motor bike and carried it in to avoid being stolen.

That hotpot restaurant was decorated delicately and elegantly. At first glance, it looked like a Western Restaurant. Gao Yusheng, wearing a star blue shirt, sat by the window, drinking soda water mixed with lemonade and mint.

Gao Yusheng was young and promising, but he was not as frivolous as some young entrepreneurs. The only ornament on his body was the watch on his left wrist. Of course, he didn’t look very energetic. From a distance, he looked like a static ink and water painting, full of peace.

“Sorry for keeping you wait,” Zhai Chen folded up the electric motor bike and put it against the front platform. He sat down opposite to Mr. Gao.

“It’s OK, I just arrived,” Gao Yusheng handed him the menu and asked him to order.

“You select the meal, I’m not picky,” Zhai Chen took the soda water on the table and drank it. It was getting hotter and hotter outside. Riding the electric motor bike seemed to put the meat in the oven to roast at noon. It would be cooked after walking for a while.

Gao Yusheng looked at him for a moment, motionless, and raised his hand to the waiter to order. Each person has a delicately carved pot, four large portions of beef and other meat dishes, and few vegetables. The beef of this restaurant was served on a one-meter long ice plate, which was quite cool.

“I thought you rich people didn’t eat hot pot，” Zhai Chen was very satisfied with the table full of meat. He picked up the beef with chopsticks and put it into the pot.

“I’m not a rich man. I’m just a young man starting a business,” Gao Yusheng was not in a hurry to express his purpose. He only talked with Zhai Chen about common things and got closer to each other. It was a business habit. It was very difficult to persuade a hungry person to make a deal before eating. It was only easy to do business after eating.

The only connection between them was to know Li Ting. They start talking about the topic of Miss Employer.

Everyone in the company known about Li Ting’s entanglement with her ex-boyfriend. When they just broke up, Wang Jinghang came to the company and knelt outside the glass door to beg for forgiveness. Li Ting was afraid of losing face, so she took him out and was almost dragged into a taxi. Later, the company called the security guard to prevent him from entering the building, but then he went to the parking lot to harass her every day.

“What did you do after we left that day?” Wang Jinghang hadn’t appeared in recent days. Zhai Chen thought that this kind of bastard should be beaten.

“As you might expect, he has a fracture in his coccygeal vertebra.” Gao Yusheng might be hot. He pulled the sleeve of his shirt over his elbow, revealing smooth muscles. Between the age of young and mature men, arguably the muscle should be thin, but Mr. Gao has been very strong, he must exercise regularly.

It turned out that Wang Jinghang was bedridden. Zhai Chen thought he was scared. Zhai Chen regretted that Wang Jinghang had been hurt too much, he should take it lightly. In this way, he could beat the bastard several times while he was on duty, and that asshole would be defeated in a week.

“How much do you charge a day?” Gao Yusheng put down his chopsticks and wiped his hands with the wet towel handed by the waiter.

“It depends on what would you like, daytime, night or 24-hour service?. You know, Different service charges are different.”

The waiter who handed Zhai Chen the towel shook suddenly, who almost fell the towel into the pot, but Zhai Chen picked it up quickly.

“I’ve enquired in your company. You only take jobs within 8 hours in the daytime, with an average price of 4,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan in the whole month. But you usually don’t take the whole month, just for a short time,” Gao Yusheng waved the waiter to leave, took out a card and put it in front of Zhai Chen, “here you are 50,000 yuan. I need a service of nine-hour a day for a month. “

Zhai Chen didn’t take the card. He pinched the towel in his hand and folded it to a shape of a little mouse, “At such a high price, you can go to a regular bodyguard company to hire a retired special force. You don’t need to hire me.”

“Someone is going to kill me,” Gao Yusheng said in a low, unchanged voice, “the general bodyguard is not sure to make me safe.”

Zhai Chen put the folded mouse-shaped towel on the card and sneered, “If a professional bodyguard even can’t make it. How can I make it as an amateur?”

“You can, ” said Gao Yusheng who drew attention to the little folded mouse-shaped towel, whose distractedness gave him a subconscious glance at the black shoulder bag on the chair, “you know what I’m talking about.”

“Well …” Zhai Chen breathed a sigh of cold air, ringing an alarm in his head suddenly. Zhai Chen looked up straight at Mr. Gao’s eyes. The eyes that seemed to be with mild and harmless before were suddenly full of aggression, with a threat that was not easy to detect. Zhen Chen thought that it seemed that not all creatures smaller than himself were cute. Zhai Chen pouted and pushed the card straight back, “sorry, I have no time.”

Gao Yusheng slowly raised his hand and took back the card with the wet mouse-shaped towel.

Zhai Chen refused Mr. Gao’s idea. Gao Yusheng did not retain too much, but also kindly drove him home, to avoid Zhai Chen being sun-drenched as hot pot-flavored bacon.

Even if the deal wasn’t made, at least they could be friends. It made sense that Gao Yusheng was so young to become an entrepreneur with hundreds of millions of assets, dealing with things thoughtfully so that people could not pick out any of his problems.

When he went out to buy food in the evening, he went to the “Seal Special Homemaking” and told the boss that the new task could not be dealt, also asked the boss to find another assignment for him.

“You’ve refused such good business!” The fat boss holding the half watermelon bought by Zhai Chen, eating while scolding Zhai Chen, “although you do not want to do it, why don’t you leave it to another guy in our company? This kind of generous big boss is not common…”

“Even if the big boss pays a lot, we don’t have that life to earn,” he remembered that guy with panic, held the boss’s head, “eat your watermelon.”

Turning to Monday morning, Yan Chen carried his nephew to pick up Li Ting, and bought breakfast and threw it in the basket. Last week, the girl was often to be busy making up in the morning and had no time to have breakfast, so Zhai Chen also brought one to Li Ting.

“Uncle, there are a lot of people in the yard.” Mengmeng sitting on the electric motor bike peeped curiously. Cai Zhuang New Town was somewhat unusual today. At the usual time it was relatively deserted, only some young people in a hurry to catch the bus, subway on the road. Now there were a lot of people standing there, men, women, children, and elders. There was a flashing police car parking in front of the gate.

Zhai Chen’s intuition made his heart quiver, he rode the electric motor bike to speed into there.

“Stop, don’t go forward, ” the man in police uniform stopped the electric car’s way, turned his head to the crowd and shouting, “Don’t look, hurry away from the scene, nothing well to look at!”

Zhai Chen dropped the electric motor bike and called Li Ting, but the phone didn’t go through, and he frowned and squeezed into the crowd. Near the wall in front of the building, a cordon was formed, and people stretched their necks one by one, wondering what they could see standing outside.

Zhai Chen took a deep breath and separated the fish-like crowd with a push of one hand. He strode to the front and waited until he stood firmly. He quickly pressed the child’s head into his arms, “Close your eyes, don’t look at it.”

On the uneven concrete floor, there was a broken corpse lying on the ground, and the blood-brain had dried up, like bad solid oil paint pigment, spreading with the devil’s fingers.

The police officers were recording it, “The decedent, Li Ting, 27 years old.”
